so i went to mexico....

so i went to mexico to visit my grandparents and saw something really interesting/fun...

there was a guy with a small wooden box hanging from his neck with a bunch of people around him so i went to see what was up

pretty much he gives you 2 metal sticks with some wires attached to them and when he turns on the machine you start getting shocked...at first its a small tingle then he starts turning it up until you cant hold it anymore and you let go..

really fun stuff so i want to make my self one and i figured some circuitry guru here must have an idea of how to make one...

something i've done in the past involved a relay and a 9v battery, and some wire. wire the battery through the NC contacts on the relay to the coil, and a couple wires hanging off of the coil. as soon as the coil is energized, it opens the NC contacts and removes power to the coil. no power, contacts close, and it repeats. the inductance in the coil makes the voltage go way up, giving a nice shock you can feel.

this might get you started in a good direction, i never played with adding more inductance or a transformer or anything like that, but i'm pretty sure it could get dangerous pretty quick if you do.

i think the best i have ever done is taken one of those disposable cameras, ya kno the cheapie 3 dollar film throwaways... opened it up, and modded it to use the capicatator circuit for the flash to shock the **** out of an unsuspecting friend takin a picture. A coupla paper clips exposed on the outside but hidden to make contact with the persons hand... thing was genius... and hurt like a son of a *****.
